Switching XS-Python-Version from current to all, will imply that the
python code will be byte-compiled for all version of the python
interpreter installed (correct?), even though only the bytecode for
the default python interpreter version will be used (in case of
tortoisehg).

Is there any other way to byte-compile only for the default python version?
